Goals

Raise money for different enhancements for recently build laser cutter

Main goal

Motorize the Z-Axis

ca. 300€

To cut or engrave objects of different sizes, the cutting surface has to be movable on the Z-axis. With 300€ we can motorize it

We start with a small goal to get the campaign rolling. There is nothing more frustrating than a campaign with a big goal missed by a little. Stretch goals will keep people engaged

Stretch goal 1

Replacement laser source

ca. 1000€

Sooner or later the Laser will need a replacement.

Stretch goal 2

Stronger laser

min. 500€

If backers add some money to stretch goal 1, we can buy a laser with more cutting power. With a little research on lasers this goal is incremental, since we can always buy a stronger laser with more €.

Stretch goal 3

Motorized Z-focus

To keep the laser in focus even if the cutting a motorized Z-axis on the laser focus with a range finder would be nice

Any money in-between

Cutting material

The money in-between goals will be spend on cutting material like wood, plexiglas etc.

TODOs

It would be nice to get some help on all or at least some of those TODOs
